Best WLM Reviews
First and foremost, the service (to-go) is impeccable. Every time I order online and walk in to pick up my order, it’s already on the counter waiting for me. No extra waiting???! I love it. The staff always greets me with a smile which is really nice.
Atmosphere: it’s giving Caribbean vibes for sure. I like the aesthetic so much and I never really sat down & ate inside but I will in the near future.
Food: I’m on the quest to find the best jerk chicken in the city. Right now, they’re not the best I’ve had but they’re still really good. I love the vegan jollof rice and the sweet & spicy plantains. I could eat that by itself, no meat needed. The portions are nice size especially if you don’t want something super heavy for lunch. I recommend getting a bowl and adding whatever you like.
It’s a spot near my place of work & a spot I’ll be eating at from time to time. The food, portions, atmosphere, and customer service is bomb.
I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could! Grabbed lunch here today and it was so good it was all I could think about for the rest of the day. Had the Just Plants Village Meal and the only thing I regret was getting the small when I could have easily eaten the large, even though the small portion was a perfect amount for lunchtime. I cant wait to go back and try some more things because Im pretty sure everything there is going to be delicious.
Who was very seasoned? Deftly, recommend the curry goat. First time trying, it had a great experience.Staff was very friendly and helping me with the menu
We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all delicious! The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and the service was great. Can’t wait to go back the next time I’m in town, and I couldn’t recommend it more^^
This is the third and final time that I have ordered yum village in the last 10 months. I kept ordering my “usual” in hopes that the last disappointment was a fluke. The jerk chicken was burnt beyond consumption the first time. The second time it was also over cooked but not nearly as much as the previous. There also was no jerk sauce on the chicken. This last time was actually the best cooked of the three but there was still no jerk sauce. The portion of the sweet and spicy plantain has supremely diminished. There used to be like a sweet sauce drizzled on top, that’s gone. The smoked pepper fries are now clearly frozen fries with a little black pepper thrown on top. Every dish that I used to order consistently has gone down in flavor, quality, and care. The folks at the counter are still kind, but the food has disappointed me for the last time.
Excellent… Everything! Customer service was phenomenal and the food was fantastic. Quite the huge menu and caters to everyone – carnivores, vegans, vegetarians. Definitely will go again.
The food is amazing. The restaurant is clean and has a nice environment. The owner is beyond kind and professional. We came all the way from the other side of the state and we will be back
The healthiest meal I've had out in months.
The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The only complaint I could come up with is a lack of old-style, physical menus. I find them easier to browse than the tablet-based version.
The ordering system is on said tablet, broken down into various categories but not particularly logical or easily discernable. So, I started at the first and dug through all until I found what I wanted. Then it was simple & straightforward. Even a spot to add notes about spice level or leaving out certain things. Prices are shown, usually a range, that covers the different size portions.
A note: all electronic payments, no cash. And everything is bagged up to go even if you are eating in. Odd, but at least the bag is paper & thus recyclable.
The instrumental music was a nice accompaniment to the meal but one of the speakers seemed to be blown, it had trouble with the low notes.
I ordered the curry chicken, 12 oz portion, which was $16 + tax. Flavorful, tender, lots of colorful and tasty vegetables. I wish I had requested spicier but I'll know next time. And I would've loved some rice or bread to soak up all that delicious liquid so I didn't have to finish it like a bowl if soup without a spoon. ????
I honestly would love to eat here nearly every week were it closer and bit less expensive. That being said, I suspect I've found my first "go to" restaurant in downtown Detroit.
